I think the worst abuse of corn, from what I've heard, is biofuels.

Husks and cobs? That's an appropriate use for them.

However, I've heard that other crops are vastly superior in terms of biofuel production.

Switchgrass! At the very least, use a native perennial. Sheesh. -- nm - mara Sep 14, 09:31
